Welcome to PayPal Turkey and consider this a blessing. You'd be headed for all of the ridiculous things PayPal does that has earned them the top spot as one of the most hated companies on earth and the subject of the phrase: PayPal is the DEVIL!

This does leave way for another method...more bitcoin. One Turkey is already fond of bitcoin, it had the highest acceptance rate of any other country. This may solidify that further.

With bitcoin already on the rise, this can only be another factor soon to support the rising price and an overall good thing in general as another country can finally rid themselves of PayPal.

At press time 1 bitcoin is equal to 1604.75 Turkish Lira.
